Many producers and many consumers in Oracle 11g

Question

I need some advise to create simple mechanism for queueing.

Note that: "Consumer", "Producer" and "Product" words are from "producer–consumer problem" terminology.

I have couple processes - "Producer" (PL/SQL procedures) that can generate some "Product" (I mean that this can be anything like row or any ID).

Then this information I want to put into some FIFO queue (this can be table).

After that, I want to define for example 10 or even more (nice to be parametrized) "Consumers" (one PL/SQL procedure that can consume received "product" from queue).

Any idea how to do this ?

Look at official docs, plus you can find many howtos on the internet.

Also have to point that AQ can act as an Java JMS provider. So in Weblogic you can use AQ as a provider of the "generic" Java Messaging System standard.
